I listed a few countermeasures at: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Corrupted+Files&hl=en&lr=&group=comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica&safe=off&selm=bb4vj9%2447v%241%40smc.vnet.net&rnum=2 (Search for Corrupted Files in the subject.) I haven't had a corrupted file in more than a year, and I'm not sure how current the above advice is.
